what they say

"I don't know why it's taken them this long to do it, that pretty much sums up the FA. The audition went well, we played pretty well. I'm not sure who else is out there to be honest. I like Gareth, he is a good guy. He should have been appointed a long time ago and we could have all got on with it."

Jamie Redknapp, former England teammate of Southgate

"I played with Gareth and couldn't believe what a good player he was. People say has he got the experience? Which English manager would have the experience? It's all about the players. Have we got the players? I'm not sure we have the players."
